Description

Lustrous 1800 BD-2 Half Eagle MS61

1800 $5 MS61 NGC. BD-2, R.3. Both sides have heavy peripheral clash marks, including a complete outline of the eagle's tail behind IB of LIBERTY. A faint diagonal crack joins the top right upright of I to the lower left upright of B. On the reverse, much of LIBERTY can be seen, and read, in the area of the tail feathers.
A remarkable example, the design elements are fully defined on both sides, and the surfaces exhibit wonderful satin luster with outstanding green-gold patina. Full mint brilliance remains, with subtle orange toning on the reverse. A few faint surface marks and lines are evident, limiting the grade.(Registry values: P2)
